As Yuejinge's business became increasingly prosperous, Lin Yue, on a quiet night, began to stare at the bright moon outside the window in a daze.

Ah Xiang walked in with a cup of tea and said softly, "Miss Lin, you are so lost in thought as you stare at the bright moon outside. Is there something bothering you? Could you tell me?" Lin Yue nodded slightly, "Ah Xiang, let me tell you a secret. I don't actually belong to this dynasty. I traveled here from 300 years later. You think it's incredible, don't you?" As she spoke, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes, "I've been here for so long, and I often think of my home in the 21st century. I wonder if I can ever go back."

Ah Xiang sat down beside her and said soothingly, "Miss Lin, now that you're here, make the best of it. You've accomplished something great here, and perhaps some opportunity will lead you back. Besides, Yue Jin Pavilion can't do without you anymore." Lin Yue smiled wryly and said, "Thank you for your comfort, Ah Xiang. I know, sometimes, in the dead of night, the longing for home becomes even stronger."

Just then, Ah Fu rushed in, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere. "Miss Lin, something terrible has happened! A major merchant in the next town had originally agreed to place a large order of handicrafts and moisturizers with us, but we just received word they've suddenly changed their minds and are now partnering with Qing Feng Zhai." Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately stood up, her eyes regaining their usual firmness. "It must be Qing Feng Zhai pulling all the strings again. Ah Fu, go find out what they're doing. Ah Xiang, let's re-examine the client's needs and see if we can come up with a more attractive proposal."

Not long after, Ah Fu returned with a report: "Miss Lin, I've heard that Qing Feng Zhai promised that merchant a lower price and also said our product quality was unstable, citing the previous customer allergy incident as evidence." Lin Yue clenched her fists in anger. "They're truly unscrupulous. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Ah Fu, go to the next town again and bring a detailed introduction to our products and positive customer feedback. Let that merchant know our strength. I don't believe they can steal our business based on just a few rumors."

Ah Fu took his orders and left. Lin Yue, Ah Xiang, and the embroiderers worked together to further refine the product. Aunt Wang also came over and said, "Miss Lin, I think we could work on the moisturizer's packaging. Making it more exquisite might attract more customers." Lin Yue nodded in agreement. "Aunt Wang is right. Details determine success or failure. Let's make the packaging more unique and highlight the characteristics of our product."

A few days later, Ah Fu returned with good news: "Ms. Lin, the merchant reviewed our information and compared it with Qingfengzhai's products. They felt ours was more reliable and have decided to continue their partnership!" Everyone cheered. Lin Yue also smiled with satisfaction, but behind the smile, she still harbored a deep longing for her hometown.

In a break from her busy schedule, Lin Yue wandered off to the outskirts of the city. Gazing at the rolling hills in the distance, she murmured to herself, "My family and friends back home, are you all doing well? I miss you so much." A gentle breeze blew by, as if echoing her longing.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and turned to walk towards Yuejin Pavilion. She knew that in this era, she still had an unfinished mission and that everyone at Yuejin Pavilion needed her. Back at Yuejin Pavilion, Lin Yue looked at everyone busy and secretly made up her mind to lead them in running Yuejin Pavilion better and better. At the same time, she also silently hoped that one day she would find a way to return home.
